    Peter King is a representative from new york and he is the head of the Committee on Homeland Security. The hearings going on are about "The Extent of Radicalization in the American Muslim Community and that Community's Response". He is being compared to Senator Joe McCarthy, from during the Red Scare, and he doesn't mind.
